POEM:
From the depths of a grave, more like a twain
could you fathom such a place, let's explain;
1st sing a song of Thanksgiving and praise
Trust & Obey, for more than 3 days
Look at it as fact and know truth, yes + amen!
Not allegorical, not just a story to bless men
a time frame of God's is a process, a steady duration
we prefer a swift reply, we are a microwave generation
Jailhouse repentance, it only lasts for a moment
too many backslide, so many 360 in their motion
yearly hittin' that Reset Button, time to get it right
bring 'em out, bring 'em back, eventually it'll stick like rice
To repent is nice, conviction eats us alive
in distress we cry out a prayer, hear us cry
not just 'good people', God hears all who speak his name
put down your doubt, lift up your voice without shame
God called. Jonah stalled.
Jonah sailed. God wailed.
It's a season like fall
more than a whale of a tale
Your testimony is the greatest thing you got
overcame by the current, breaking waves over top
how you returned to shore, is quite a story
you were lost in the heart of the seas, so stormy
Who will show up, in your emotional time of need
'hope floats' you better believe, you better breathe
extinguish hate, I'm sure what you expect is fate
the promises of God have no expiration date
He's a hope dealer on the corner, 1st is free
the 2nd sample is free, he'll get you hooked, you'll see
take it to the bank, cash it in and invest it
where you put it, it will stay, what will you be left with
Many trials and tribulations will teach a lesson
many trials and tribulations will preach a blessin'
allow works done deep from within like a belly
I wonder if hunger will be appetizing, it's shocking like jelly
God called. Jonah stalled.
Jonah sailed. God wailed.
It's a season like fall
more than a whale of a tale
